•••Jayden's POV•••

The first day of my new school. I am not really excited. Sheraton was like a home to me. Sports, friends, music, thats all what was important to me. I didn't want to change my school in the first place but mom and dad had to move because of work. I insisted on staying at hostel or a rented flat but they didn't let me and I know their reasons. Anyways I hope there won't be any problems at the very least.

I took my class schedule from the administration department and went to meet my class teacher. Mrs Julianne Henderson was her name, a pretty looking lady. She asked me to wait outside the class and enter after she had called for me. I wasn't surprised to see the look on their faces as they saw me. As an athlete, I have managed to maintain my body figure, and my genes never failed me.

I swept my gaze round the class as I introduced my self. It wasn't anything for me, I just wanted to get it over with. Then the uproar started, about me being from Sheraton. Everyone was busy gossiping but there was this one person who seemed interested in me more than any gossips. I noticed him staring at me for a mere seconds then returning his attention back to his books. His ears turning a beautiful red, his cheeks blushing. I kept looking at him, but he didn't raise his gaze again. He had brown hair with hazel eyes. He wore rectangular spectacles that seemed to make him look smart but a weakling at the same time and since he had a lean and thin body, he must not be involved in any sports activity. Also he was sitting in the first row so maybe a typical nerd.

Actually his body looks kind of weak but when you look at his face, he had a different aura like a person with an attitude demanding 'don't you dare talk to me'.

And then I realized I want to talk to this boy.

Since there wasn't any seats empty, I had to sit in the last row but the column next to his and from there I could easily see what he was doing. I don't know why but I really had the urge to talk to this boy and I will find a way for that.

The classes were really boring that sometimes I almost slept. And to not sleep, I looked at him. Not even once during the whole classes did he talk to anyone but also didn't sleep. Even after the teacher left, he continued to study and revise the notes over again. I noticed some guys, who sat two seats ahead of me, were continuously bullying him but he didn't pay any attention to them.

And not to mention whenever a class ended, girls would surround my desk and begin to ask unimportant questions. It really irritated me because I couldn't get to talk to him. But the girls didn't even notice my facial expressions and kept poking on my muscles. I am from an all-boys-school so being surrounded by so many girls at a time felt awkward and not to mention I am not attracted to them. Even though I am an Out-and-loud gay guy, I didn't want to introduce myself as such.

And just like that my first day ended but the girls never left me. I literally had to run from them while I noticed that boy. I didn't know his name so I just called him as 'blue bag' but he didn't respond maybe because there were many with blue bag. So I tried again calling as 'brown hair' while running after him and he stopped at once. He turned to me and my heart suddenly skipped a beat. Then I realized, I was 'nervous'. I don't know why but I was scared that he won't talk to me.

Inspite of that I walked up to him and took out my hand while I said "Hi, I am Jayden" with a huge smile on my face. I know I looked funny but that's all I could say and act at that time.

But when he didn't say anything and kept looking at my hand, I noticed he seemed more nervous than me. His fingers started fidgeting, I felt helpless. I wanted to tell him that 'Don't be scared. I want to be your friend' but before I could say that, he just went away, not even a single word, my hand was still held out to him but he was gone. I couldn't even have a word with him.

My head dropped as I walked to my home. Since we have recently moved in, things are still to be managed. Mom was arranging the living room and dad was out for his work. I walked to sit on the chair which is still to be placed in it's right place and glanced around the house. This house is a lot spacious than our last one. The rental cost is low here so we could afford a nice one. There is a total two bedroom, one guest room, a large living room, kitchen and of course bathrooms

My bedroom is upstairs so I went up, changed my clothes and hurried down to eat something. I didn't like the canteen food so I didn't eat at all and now my stomach was grumbling. I made myself an omelet and took some bread with a glass of milk. This might sound like having breakfast but I didn't have energy to cook something and mom was busy.

Actually I am not always this lazy but when 'he' didn't talk to me, I suddenly lost all of my energy. As far I have noticed him, he didn't talk to anyone and no one even went to talk to him. Is he afraid of talking? Maybe mute? Does he have any problem? I want to know more about him, more and more.

But where should I start from? I don't even know his name. Wait, if he is that afraid of talking to people, then he mustn't be available on social media, right? I think I will have to wait for tomorrow.

I am now lying on my bed facing the ceiling, then my phone rang. That's my best friend's call,"Hey!! Jordan, what's up?"

"Hi dude, today we missed you a lot. We were playing football but you weren't there." I was the ACE of the team but now that I am gone, they might even lose the game.

"I missed you guys more than you think. But we can't even meet. It's really a long distance."

"Yeah man, tell me about your new school. How was it? I heard it's not an all-boys-school. Don't you feel awkward?"

"It's awkward as hell. There are girls more than boys and let me tell you this, the girls never leave me alone. I was damn irritated but I can't just say that I am gay on my first day, right?"

"Yeah. As expected but it should have been me. I think I might even start to have something for boys if I study here for more. There's no girl here."

"I know, Mr straight. And what's new?"

"New? Are you trying to ask about your boyfriend here?"

"Shut up! He WAS my boyfriend. I am asking about our team. Who replaced my position?"

"It's still not decided. I am gonna go now, they are calling me. Talk to you later."

"Yeah. Have fun, bye."

Later mom called me for dinner but for some reasons, I didn't have any interest. Dad kept asking me about the school and I just replied without any additional comments. Then came back to room, completed some notes which I borrowed from the guy sitting in front of mine. He helped me for this and that during classes. I think we can be good friends. His name was ...I think...Kyle? Whatever, I can ask him again. Now I am going to sleep. Hope I get to know 'him' tomorrow.
